Chinanews client, Beijing, August 20th (Reporter Wu Tao) It recognized it, it recognized it!

Unilever admits that its brand Menglong ice cream uses different materials both in China and abroad.

　　According to a report from CCTV Finance on August 19, Unilever Global Vice President Zeng Xiwen said in an interview that China uses reconstituted milk, milk powder and water; Europe uses water and concentrated milk.

Zeng Xiwen, the global vice president of Unilever, responded to Menglong's use of different materials in an interview.

　　According to Zeng Xiwen, the milk powder used by Menglong in China is added with water because it is difficult to transport fresh milk from Europe to China and there are problems with the supply of Chinese products.

　　Many netizens think this statement is unconvincing, "my country is vast and rich in resources, so how can you lose a mouthful of milk? Co-authored China has no milk?"

　　I am afraid that the materials used in Menglong are different for other reasons.

　　According to Song Liang, head of the Economic Expert Group of the China National Farming Dairy Alliance, the cost of reconstituted milk is about 8,000 to 10,000, and the price of concentrated milk is about 8,000 to 10,000 when the protein content of milk powder is the same as that of concentrated milk. From 13 to 14 thousand per ton, the difference is about 3,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan per ton.

　　Song Liang also said that China's standards for ice cream are relatively broad, so it leaves room for companies to seek maximum profits. Within the scope of this standard, companies may choose to minimize production costs.

　　A reporter from Chinanews.com previously found that many e-commerce platforms do not have "milk" or "milk" in the ingredients list of Menglong. The first place is "drinking water", and "vegetable oil" is also included in the ingredients.

　　Some experts say that the price of non-dairy fat is cheaper than milk fat, including coconut oil, most of which are not as expensive as milk fat.

　　Regarding the different materials used by Menglong at home and abroad, many netizens gave it the "famous Chinese and foreign double label", and said that they "deceived Chinese consumers" and "never eat it again" "just to make money, but the ingredients are so bad".

　　And in reality, many ice creams use non-dairy fat instead of milk fat.

According to "Game Discount Information", a blogger who exposed Menglong's different materials used in China and abroad, "You will find that cheaper vegetable oils are used to replace the more expensive milk fat when you go to the supermarket. Eight or nine are substitutes for cocoa butter."

Netizens exposed the substitution of more expensive milk fat with vegetable oil on the market.

　　But not all companies do this.

Chinanews.com's investigation found that in the ingredients of some sorbet such as "Zhongjie 1946" Banqiao, it was found that there was no vegetable oil, drinking water, etc., but pure milk, cocoa liquor, etc.

　　Therefore, Menglong might have known the root cause of the problem a long time ago, but Menglong or its related parties, from the very beginning, avoided the seriousness and neglected it, and now it is finally hammering.

Zeng Xiwen posted on Weibo, saying that this time Menglong was questioned about the difference in materials used by China and foreign countries.

　　On August 5, Zeng Xiwen posted on Weibo that it was a disaster that Menglong was questioned about the different materials used in China and foreign countries, and said that Menglong products in the Chinese market use 11% more chocolate than those in Europe. We don’t feel bad about how much chocolate, so will we still think about other ingredients?"

　　Do you still eat Menglong?
